Reddy Express

Reddy Express, formerly Coles Express, is an Australian chain of convenience stores at Shell Australia petrol stations. Until it came under the ownership of Viva Energy in May 2023, Coles Express was a trading name of Coles Group. In September 2023, Coles Express was renamed Reddy Express.

The business venture and corresponding fuel discount offer was launched by Coles Myer (predecessor of Coles Group) on 28 July 2003 in response to a similar offer by rival Woolworths some years earlier, which proved attractive to shoppers. Coles Myer purchased the retail business of Shell Australia's multi-site franchisees for $94 million. Shell Australia (later also sold to Viva Energy) continues to be the exclusive supplier of fuel products; leasing the service station property to Coles, and maintaining the presence of the "pecten" and other Shell branding on the price boards and other signage. The reasoning behind the term “Reddy”, which is a stylised version of the word "ready", is due to the stores' convenience-based nature.
